| | AAL5, ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | AAL5 adapts multi-cell higher layer PDUs into ATM with minimal error checking and no error detection. |
 | | AAL5 is the adaptation layer for UNI signaling, ILMI, PNNI signaling, and for IP PDUs. |
 | | The first is the encapsulation, on the transmit side, and de-encapsulation, on the receive side, of the higher layer PDU into the AAL5 CPCS PDU which requires the computation of the length and the CRC-32. |
